Family first for Royal Canadian Air Force coach
By Amanda ROBINSON, Sun Media, Sun., May 27, 2007
Harold Leslie
LANCASTER returned home in 1945 from Britain to
Canada disappointed.
As a Royal Canadian Air Force instructor, he trained hundreds
of men who went off to fight in the Second World War but never
used his own flying skills in battle.
His loving young wife saw to that by making his family top priority.
For 2½ years at the war's onset,
LANCASTER trained young flyers
at the air base in Goderich, where he flew everything from the
small, pesky Spitfire to the mammoth bomber with which he shared
a name -- the Lancaster.
Then it was on to Britain in August 1944, where he trained more
Commonwealth pilots, all the time hoping he'd see action in the
war in the Pacific.
But that campaign of the war would end, too, before
LANCASTER,
who died April 1 at age 85, could fulfil his adventurous spirit.
Disappointed as
LANCASTER was at again missing out on battle
firsthand, it suited his young wife, the former Evelyn
TUNKS,
just fine.
The two had been married on September 13, 1941, about six years
after meeting at age 14.
She had more than a little influence on
LANCASTER never fighting
overseas -- she wanted her husband to be around for her and their
children.
"Thank God he didn't have to go," she said. "When he came home
he had a chance to go on but I said, 'No, I want a father for
my children.' "
And that was that --
LANCASTER would devote the rest of his life
to family and nature.
When he died last month, he left behind his wife of 65 years
and two daughters, Sharon
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, 64, and Janis
LANCASTER, 57.
He also is survived by two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
"He was such a nice, kind man and he was a lot of fun,"
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART
said of her dad. "He just loved young fellas or gals who loved
nature."
LANCASTER grew up on a farm in Elgin County with six brothers.
There, he developed a love and appreciation for nature, specifically
birds. He was fascinated by them and became an avid bird watcher,
documenting and writing about many species.
LANCASTER also became active with many environmental groups,
among them the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, the West Elgin
Nature Club and the eco-Elgin Environmental Society.
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART credits her father for her appreciation of nature. She
admits she's never had the passion for birds her father had but
she does enjoy the peace and quiet of natural settings.
"I love to sit and listen to the birds and I love to have my
place natural-looking," she said.
"I also got from my father just (a) love of life and (the belief)
that I can do anything that I want."
